"If you can, find that peace within yourself, that peace and quiet and confidence that you can pass on to others, so that they know that you are honest and you are fair and will help them, no matter what, when the chips are down."

Richard "Dick" Winters


Mr. Winters was the Easy Company commander whose World War II exploits were made famous by the book and television miniseries "Band of Brothers." The quote is from an August 2004 article in American History Magazine: Mr. Winters died last week in central Pennsylvania. He was 92.

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...

"I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit."
